Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gyakuten Saiban 3 is still yet to recieve conformation for an American/Other release.

- Currently, a "Plead Your Own Case" contest is being held, which asks fans to plead why GS3 should be released in English. Said contest can be found at the Official Forums.




Known Characters:

Odoroki Housuke (22) - The protagonist of the game. He is "hot blooded, mischievous" and "lively" according to an interview with the director. Odoroki uses his bracelet for the "minuku system", which allows him to see people's nervous gestures.


Minuki-chan (?) - Odoroki's sidekick. She is a magician. The director describes her as "a precocious young girl, the kind that stands up on her toes to get at you."



Kirihito Garyuu (32) - Odoroki's mentor. He is cool-headed, mature, and tends to smile a lot. Supposedly is good friends with Phoenix.



Phoenix Wright (33) - The defendant of the first case. He plays piano at a Russian restaurant, as well as poker. He is very laid back and tends to brag a lot.



Kyouya Garyuu (24) - The prosecutor of the game. Kirihito's younger brother. He is the vocalist in a band called "Garyuu Wave."



Winston Payne (61) - The prosecutor over the first case. Pretty much the same as ever, despite his new hair-do.



Kagerou Urafushi (?) - Victim of the first case. The only known thing is that he loves grape juice.




The Judge (?) - The same ol' lovable judge is back to preside over the cases. Is disappointed by Phoenix's new occupation/lifestyle in Case 1.



Takita (?) - Seems to be the defendant of Case 2.




Broom Lady (?) - Appears in Case 2. May be a witness or otherwise involved with the case.




Ema Skye (25) - The detective of the game. She has fulfilled her dream and has many new techniques to find clues with. Judging by the screenshots, she seems to have an air of confidence and sarcasm about her.




Turnabout Trump:
Turnabout Trump (part one) can be played (in Japanese) at the Official Gyakuten Saiban 4 Website.

New Investigation Methods:




Promotions:
Odoroki Headphones - Red headphones with a white logo imprinted on the sides and top. They don't look exactly best quality, but they're cool nonetheless. (picture up a.s.a.p.)

GS Dictionary - A "game" containing all the information from the past games. I believe it includes character profiles, case descriptions, maps, and music, but I'll have to double-check. (picture up a.s.a.p.)

Odoroki T-Shirt - Red t-shirt with Odoroki's silhouette on the front and a logo on the side. I don't remember if there's something on the back or not; I'll have to find a picture. (picture up a.s.a.p.)

Gyakuten Saiban 4 Calendar - Is going to be on sale in Japan in March for 1,260 yen (about $10.50 US). Can be seen here.

Between Gumshoe and Ema, it's a REALLLLLY tough choice... can't they just co-exist? D= Though I am delighted to have her back in GS4. But without Edgey or Gumshoe and with minimal Phoenix, she might not make the game worth playing. LE SIGH.....Though I gotta say, I'm glad to see the end of Maya.

As are we all.

xD; Well, it is nine years after the first game. He was only 52 in the first game. That's not that bad.

Actually GS4 takes place 7 years after GS3, it says so in the GS4 demo. sweatdrop

I hope that they Retcon Gs4 from the timeline if phoeninx still stops being a lawyer when it comes to america. What happens to him? Or at least have him nmake a comeback. HEs phoenix wright! The turnabout king!!!! I whould have no problem with odorki and phoenix being lawyers at the same time.

I'm confused of what you're trying to say. First of all, you are Phoenix in the third game. Secondly, in the fourth game you are Odoroki Housuke, a defense attorney. If they decide to bring four to America, the title of the game will likely be "[Odoroki's English Name]: Ace Attorney."
